Tidal Model

<p><em>The Tidal Model</em> represents a significant alternative to mainstream mental health theories emphasising how those suffering from mental health problems can benefit from taking a more active role in their own treatment. <br><br>Based on extensive research <em>The Tidal Model </em>charts the development of this approach outlining the theoretical basis of the model to illustrate the benefits of a holistic model of care which promotes self-management and recovery. Clinical examples are also employed to show how by exploring rather than ignoring a client's narrative practitioners can encourage the individual's greater involvement in the decisions affecting their assessment and treatment. The appendices guide the reader in developing their own assessment and care plans. <br><br><em>The Tidal Model</em>'s comprehensive coverage of the theory and practice of this model will be of great use to a range of mental health professionals and those in training in the fields of mental health nursing social work psychotherapy clinical psychology and occupational therapy.</p>
